(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Curato. When Worm and Worm decide to marry, their animal friends offer "that's how it's always been done"–type advice, some ridiculous ("You'll need to get rings"); characters appear against white backdrops, which distills the story's abiding humor. Readers will be won over long before this higher-order message book gently broaches its love-is-love concept ("which one of you is the bride?").
